Episode #398 – Kati Eismann From The Adam Hall Group, Musician Minimum Wage, And Vocal Recording Tips

My guest this week is Kati Eismann, who’s the global marketing director for the Adam Hall Group. The Adam Hall Group brands include sound reinforcement company LD Systems, stage lighting company Cameo, stand company Gravity, cable protectors by Defender, and Adam Hall hardware and flight cases. It’s also the distributor to brands like Hofner, EBS, Maiton and Mad Professor Amplification.

Before joining Adam Hall Kati spent 10 years with labels such as Warner, Universal and Virgin, and then moved into the fashion sector at brands such as Eastpak and Endemol, before returning to music business with her position with Adam Hall.

During the interview we spoke about being one of the few females in live sound, how the music business prepared Katie for the fashion industry, the difference between the US and European audio markets, and much more.

I spoke with Katie via Zoom.

On the intro I’ll take a look at the minimum wage for working musicians, and some vocal recording tips.
